Woman feared for life over estranged husband's tweets

A woman has told how she feared for her life after being bombarded with 4,000 Twitter messages from her estranged husband that ranged from “nonsense” to death threats.

Conor Monks, with an address at Caneras Place, Bantry, Co Cork, faced charges of breaching a barring order when he sent the messages over a number of weeks last summer.

Garda Tim Forde told Skibbereen District Court that in July 2017, Mr Monks began to send “a barrage of messages from his Twitter account to the injured party”.
